Compared to TBC, these are retardedly easy to get. Got two stacks in a day with ease. Get them while you can before blizz nerfs the rate!

There's a cave just north of K3 village in Storm Peaks, it's chalked full of Crystalweb Spitters and Crystalweb Weavers. The drop rate with those spiders is a lot more frequent, my recommendation for anyone looking to farm a lot of Iceweb Spider Silk.

A really silkastic droprate at that cave. No coords in the thread so far though - so, entrance is at (41, 78) in Storm Peaks. Happy webbing!

Comment by Sardoche

Guys thx for the tip!

I actually found 5 saronite ore source in this cave! This place is insane!

Comment by silkfire

Have they changed the drop rate of this? It now has a terrible drop rate since patch 3.2.2! Maybe same nerf as with Arctic Fur?

Comment by trialtm

Yea were the hell am i supposed to farm this if blizzard nerfed the drop rate into the dam ground. I killed every spider in the storm peaks cave and when i reached the end i had one piece of silk. This is worse than the arctic fur nerf imo.

Edit:37,57 in Zul"Drak is still a viable option for farming this. Trapdoor Crawlers are wat your looking for.

I can confirm the drop rate at the cave is still good. Dropped from roughly every other spider but was highly populated on my server. Good luck!

Comment by Ururiel

As of patch 3.3, the drop rate is still quite good. Ran once till the end of the cave and back, killing every spider on my way (though there was another player killing them, so wasn't a full run, so to say), among them some Icetip crawlers, which seem have a lower drop rate. Total: 44 spiders killed for 11 iceweb silks, 43 borean leather, 1 arctic fur, 2 greenies and vendor junk for an amount of roughly 8 golds.Time invested, around 15 minutes, more or less. So still worth it, imo.

I spent about a half an hour in that cave last night, got a little over 20 silks and 4 arctic furs, I was shocked. great place for farming silks and skinning, went back today as well, more silks and 2 arctic furs. Not too shabby. early evening on Lightbringer seems to have the farmers camping the joint. early mornings seem to be the best time of day for me there.

Comment by Kicia

Is it only me, or drop rate was lowered in 3.3.3? In 3.3.2 I had 2 or 3 stacks after an hour in Zul'Drak, now I dont even have half a stack...

I disagree. It would appear that, to me at least, the best place to farm these by far is in Zul'Drak at roughly (37,52). I have tried both this area as well as the cave near K3, but in my experience, the Zul'Drak circuit is much, much better. For one, and perhaps the biggest factor for me, is that it's outside. As a ret paladin, I can mount up and aggro 3-5 of these spiders at a time, and ultimately and do what we retadins do best: AoE killing. I got 2 stacks of the silk in under an hour, which on my server, sells for about 130g per. Throw skinning into the mix and you get 13 stacks of Borean Leather and 7 Arctic Furs. What with the silk, leather, and fur alone, that's roughly 700-800g depending on your server. Then when you factor in the vendor trash and auction-able/disenchant-able greens/blues that drop, you are pushing 1000g an hour. This is by far my favorite farming spot.

Notes:I am a druid so i was able to use my travel form to get from spider to spider at zuldrak but not at the cavethere are some kobolds in the cave which drop frostweave clothi got Borean leather from every spider i skinned at both locations

Results:Personally i like it better at the cave in storm peaks, the half hour seemed to go by a bit faster and the drop rate is slightly higher, however, there are just enough spiders there for 1 person to kill them all before they respawn, so if somebody else is there then go to zul'drak

Just to be clear, the spiders are found in a cave, and the entrance is located at the foot of the mountains locs: 40.5 , 78.6 stormpeaks.

Comment by Blaix

Storm Peaks > Zul'Drak, hands down. I got 6 Frostweave and 13 Iceweb Spider Silk in about ... 30 minutes? I hate farming (as do we all) so I figured I'd check out some Trapdoor drop rates. I just dot them and run around so it's not too time consuming but after killing about 8 or 9 I only got ONE silk drop.

Even farming the cave with one other person in there my rate was RIDICULOUSLY higher. I doubt this was just bad luck, I think the cave is definitely the way to go. Just not on my server, thats my farming spot. Stay away.

Sells for 30-40 gold per piece on the AH on my server. A very profitable income...

Comment by Reiga

I just did some farming in both places: Zul'Drak and Storm Peaks. Here are my thoughts:

-The drop rate seems to be just as good in both places

-The cave in Storm Peaks is a bit annoying in my opinion because: 1) From my experience people quest there more often than in Zul'Drak and while doing so kill the spiders, 2) You can't mount in the cave, 3) The cave is a bit of a maze and you need to run around a lot looking for the spiders, 4) I regularly ran out of spiders and had to run from one end to the other to find respawns

-Zul'Drak is a nice place to farm in my opinion because 1) There are always spiders available and they are easy to find, 2) You can fly from spider to spider, 3) The spiders seem to drop more gray armor pieces which sell for more than 1g to the vendor.

I farmed total of 40 iceweb spidersilks (20 in SP and 20 in Zul'Drak) and at the same time got total 8 greens and 40g from gray items.

Comment by SKidRowz

Like previous post suggest I found the cave in storm peaks to be the best spot. Specially at night when there maybe less people around.
